We have never spent much time in South Carolina, so we were very thrilled to find out what this state was all about.

They have beautiful parks and reserves! We also spent two weeks at Briarcliffe Resorts near Myrtle Beach, then attended the Grand Design Rally held at Lakewood Family Camp nestled on the ocean in Myrtle Beach.
